Geoff,
You should be able to send it with Bome's SendSX:
https://www.bome.com/products/sendsx https://www.bome.com/products/sendsx
The MIDI file would essentially just contain sysex data, and SendSX should be able to open it, then send it. Synths are normally able to accept sysex at any time - you shouldn't need to do anything special to make it ready to accept it.
Scala might have an option to save as sysex too - I've never tried it.
SendSX is nice and simple to use, and is free to use for non commercial purposes - you're supposed to send Mr Bome a postcard, to register it, after a couple of weeks :)
Mostly, you'd just need to load the file, specify the MIDI Out port to use (if not already set), then press Send.
I use it for patch saving, mostly - almost any synth with MIDI can dump its edit buffer, or a specified patch, e.g. manually from a menu, or by sending a dump request to it (also from SendSX). You can then save the receive window in SendSX, as a file. Sending it back again loads it back into the synth, to the same location it came from.
